5 ways WWE could book Charlotte Flair vs Natalya at Clash Of Champions

What could happen between these two?

Natalya really liked being SmackDown Women's Champion and she's looking to get her title back from Charlotte Flair at Clash Of Champions. Only there is a small difference between this encounter and all the others between these two amazing female Superstars.

A Lumberjack match stipulation was added to this match during the go-home SmackDown Live leading to the big event. Now every other female in the SmackDown Live lockerroom will surround the ring in an attempt to keep the action inside the squared circle or interfere to wage a personal agenda of some kind.

Any number of things can happen in a match like this, so let's take a look at five possible conclusions for the SmackDown Women's Championship at Clash Of Champions.


#1 Royal Rumble tease

Wo
Would you like to see a Women's Royal Rumble Match?

There are going to be a lot of women in this match even though there are only two actual competitors. The idea of every Lumberjack ending up in the ring might be a key moment in the match.

If all of the women wound up in the ring at the same time creating a spot where Natalya and Charlotte Flair needed to hurl a bunch women over the top rope, it could create a great tease for an upcoming Royal Rumble in January.

This all-female Royal Rumble idea is really nothing new, but with Absolution on the Red Team and the Riott Squad on SmackDown Live, it seems like WWE has enough women to make that happen at this point.

#2 The Riott Squad Factor

These wome
These women could be trouble...

There is strength in numbers and the Riott Squad have proven themselves to be a pretty solid force in recent weeks. Although they weren't able to put Naomi on the injured list for long, they still did plenty of damage to The Glow. This could certainly result in something happening during a Clash Of Champions encounter.

After all, the entire SmackDown Live roster seemed to rally against the Riott Squad this week (although it was pretty much a cut and paste job from what WWE did with Absolution on Raw the previous night). But Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan, and Liv Morgan are still a force to be reckoned with.

The only question is who they will align themselves with and what tactics they will choose. It would be hard to imagine WWE burying them so early into their run as a faction, therefore whatever they do needs to be an attempt at getting them over if they do make their presence known.

It also might be a nice twist if this match is how we find out that Natalya or Charlotte Flair are the true leads of this new faction of fierce females.

#3 Clean finish

Nata
Natalya and Charlotte have quite a history together...

With all of the bells and whistles of this match, it is important to remember Natalya Neidhart and Charlotte Flair are still in this match. These two women put on one of the best female contests in NXT TakeOver history once upon a time and they could do it again if WWE gave them the opportunity.

Since this match has the Lumberjack stipulation, it's hard to imagine all those women surrounding the ring not becoming a factor in the finish. But "The Queen Of Harts" and "The Nature Girl" are plenty capable of holding their own in the ring.

Therefore, if this match told a great story of two women forced to have it out inside the squared circle without retreating to the outside, it might be a fine way to go with this match. A clean win for either competitor would be much deserved after they prove themselves in the ring.

#4 Carmella cashes In

She could
She could cash in at any moment...

It's been a long time since Money In The Bank, but Carmella is still holding onto her briefcase. Some people forget there's a guaranteed contract for a Women's Title Match whenever "The Princess Of Staten" Island decides to cash it in.

Daniel Bryan did make some reference to Carmella's briefcase when she asked why she wasn't in the match a couple of weeks ago, but other than that she's just used her MITB briefcase as a prop to hold up while she moonwalks during her entrance.

Carmella is having a wonderful time with her Money In The Bank briefcase, but all good things must come to an end. Because all it would take is for Carmella to pop into the ring after a hard-fought battle and pop the winner in the back of the head with her metal accessory and cash in her briefcase to win the SmackDown Women's Title.

#5 No finish brawl

Th
This match could get chaotic...

There are a lot of combustible elements in this match which could result in a powder keg conclusion. With so many opposing forces with such a rich history of resentment and hostility between them, who knows how little it could take to cause an all-out brawl to end this match?

If the fight between all the Lumberjacks spilt into the ring and the referee lost all control, he might have no choice but to ring the bell and call this match a no-contest.

This booking decision could be a wise one if they wanted to extend the rivalry between Charlotte Flair and Natalya out a little longer into a possible blow-off match at the Royal Rumble. It would also keep Charlotte Flair busy for a little longer until she's ready to take on another competitor like Ruby Riott who might be busy with Naomi for a while.
